2017 Map of Corsica Lake

About this map

Blooming Valley characterizes this rural landscape in Douglas County, where the plains are defined by the winding course of Chateau Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted agrarian community, marked by a high concentration of local burial grounds that reflect the area's early settlement history. These include the Saint John Cem, Blooming Valley Cem, Old Ebenezer Cem, Grandview Cem, and Saint Peters Cem. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Corsica Lake serves as a prominent water feature amid the grid of section lines and gravel roads. This 2017 survey shows the enduring township structure, where family farms are accessed via a precise network of routes like Co HWY 560 and 394th Ave, maintaining the traditional layout established during the initial homesteading era of South Dakota.
